SAFE WAY To CARRY A cI,N

One evening was returning from a hunt
with that dog. He had enjoyed the hunt SO
much that not quail had remained in the
county. Suddenly be plunged forward; there
was quick rush and scrabble, and beheld
Il huge wildcat poised on the limb of a small
tree just out of the dogs reach. Emotion
swelled visibly in the cats tail and frenzy
ruled the dog. Istepped back a rod, extracted
most of the shot from one barrel and sprink-
led the cat in the region of the jumpers. He
came out of the tree and came suddenly, and
next minute there was a whirlwind of fur
and agony under that tree, and mingled
sounds informed me that both tho cat and
the dog had ascertained that something was
wrong. There was combination OF clawing
and yowling, splitting and swapping, re-
volving and rough and tumble excitement
which lasted about a minute, and then a
peaceful hush succeeded, during which the
zephyrs blew away the cloud of dust and
hair and disclosed what was left of the dog
lying serenely at peace with the trivial re-
mains of the cat, and both so mixed as to be
inscparable
The trouble with that dog was that his
pedigree was contradictory. His setter in
stinct prompted him to let go the cat and

Dug hit to obey his father or his mother he
died.
There is nothing so necessary to sports
man as thoroughbred, well broken dog.
Always purchase pedigree with the dog.
a full blooded dog with a reliable pedigree
costs about $3.50, which allows s149.50 for the
pedigree and fifty cents for the dog.
The best dog for hunting purposes in this
section is pointer.
: Some pointers are very expensive. heard
tho other day that Cyrus Field once got
pointer from Jay Gould which cost him

The Duya1 Restaurant Svstem

z Butcher Duval crente' the. type of eating
! mousse which bears his naine His central ideo
Is that In fairness people with large appetites
should DO Obliged to pay for them and not he
nilo"ci to satisfy them at other peoples OK.
pensc. II Is easy enough to understand that
fthe regulation steak of the restaurant "a IL
carte" INST contents tho hungry Mr.. X, while
the more s!lstemious Mr.. Y cannot possibly
eat more tlIuu hall Of it, that Mr. Y. is really
paying for quarter of Mr.. KS dinner,
Obviously the equitable solution would Le To
REFUGE the size Of tho steak (aud its price) to
the measure affected by the moderate and
everage citizen. Then if Mr.. X. is unusually
hungry, or If his appetite is regularly above
the normal, he simply pays the price of being
thus inguished--precisely as he would Lave
paid double reckoning to his shoemaker In
the unfortunate event of his being born with
-FOUR legs. LII other words, in the Duval res
talrants the regulation portion is littls less
th,tl tho ordinary man would care to eat, aud
ana not great deal more than he can posi-
bly, want. That the portion is Il little less than
the average man would want only illustrates
more clearly the perfection of the SYSTEM for
tile feminine contingent Of its patrons makes
the balance hang exactly, it being admitted
that the average woman eats less thnu tho
average man.
But the Duval system is carried out still
further. If one wishes wine lie is not Obliged
TO order pint, but may ask for carafon,
holding about half q pint. Then, again,
bread, which i'll ordinary restaurants is fur
nisled ad lib, has in the Duval restaurants a
definite price, os well rs any other article Of
food 1t is tho same with the butter, tho
pickles and similar relishcs Tho economical
man may even save a cent by mt ordering a
napkin, but retrcnchment to this extent is not
usual.
As one enters the restaurant he receives
card from the "coutroleur" ut tho door, on
which his waitress notes his orders as each
dish is brought. When ready to go tic diner
leaves two or three cents on the table for at
tendance, and then takes tho card to The
cashier who calculates tho amount and re-
ceipt5 for it. The card is finally surrendered
to the "cortroleur' ut the door as the diner
ccas':cs out. '...
The merits of all tho Duval restaurants are
their absolute cleanliness, their cheapness and
the really good quality OF their viands. The
portions, as said before, are small, but good,
especially in thes case of the meats aud fish,
md always well cooked. LASTLY, il one de-
sires plate Of roast beef lie can get it with
out the usual garniShment Of bread ind
butter, potatoes and other extras, which he
neither desires to eat nor to pay for. Theo-
retically, the Duval system Is the perfect
restaurant, ami its practical workings Justify

Shakespeare was perfect gentleman, hay-

which invested his father with coat armor.
This coat armor made a gentleman of the
elder Shakespeare, and as Williams mother
was already gentleman under the code,
William became one also both on his fathers
and on his mothers side OF course all this

Long Summer Days in England.

The extreme brevity Of the English sum-
mer nights always interests the stranger. 1t
is not fully dark until nearly II o'clock, and
reading is possible OIL IA clear night up to
nearly 10. The gray dawn begins to glu,-
mer at about 2 in the morning, and by 3 it is
quite light again. This doesn't seem to give
the creatures that 60 to bed and get Mp with
the sun time enough for rest. The ROSTERS
and such fowls have a worn and sleepless
look, and evidently suffer from insomnia.
These brief nights, of course, are accompa-
MED by q corresponding extraordinary
length of days. We are accustomed to ex.
pect this sort of thing by hearsay in Norway,
Sweden and Russia, but it seems at first novel
and unfair to find all English speaking coun-
try blessed with such an extra quantity Of
daylight London Letter.

uttS Iuily arrived Wnen we hunlOrlStS ought
to stand by each other
William Shakespeare knew oil the time
that he was great man and that some day
he would write pieces to speak He left
Stratford at the age Of 81 and won't to Lon
don, where he attracted very little attention,
for he belonged to the yeomanry, being a
kind OF dramatic Horace Greeley, both in
the matter of clothes and penna,lship. Thus
it would seem that while Sir Francis Bacon
was attending business college and getting
himself familiar with the whole arm move
ment, SO as to be able to write free, cr'yp-
togamous hand, poor W. Shakespeare was
slowly thinking the hair off his head while
ever and anon he would bring out his writ
ing materials and his bright, ready tongue
and write sonnet on an empty stomach.
Shakespeare did not want his plays pub
lished. He wanted to keep them out of the
press il order to prevent their use at spelling
schools in the hands Of unskilled artists,
and SO there was a long period of time during
which the papers could not get hold of them
for publication.
During this time Francis Bacon was in
public life. He and Shakespeare had nothing
in common. Both were great men, but Ba-
cons sphere was different from Shakespeare's
While Bacon was i'll the senate, living high
and counting investigation, Shakespeare had
to stuff three large pillows into his pantaloons
and play Falstaff at one night stands.
Is it likely that Bacon, breathing the per-
fumed air of the Capitol and chucking the
treasury girls under the chin ever and anon,
hungered for the false joys of the underpaid
and undsrscored dramatist! Scarcely!
That is one reason why prefer to take the
side Of Shakespeare rather than the side Of
Bacon.
know that Shakespeare has been severely
criticised by the press for leaving his family
Mt Stratford while he himself lived in Lon
don, only visiting home occasionally, but
am convinced that he found they could live
cheaper in that way. Help in the house was
very high at that time in London, and the in
telligence offices were doing very large bust
ness without giving very much intelligence.
Friends OF his told him that it was not only
impossible to get enough help in London, but
that there was hardly enough servants to pre-
vent q panic in the employment bureau.
